the reaction of ch3o2 radicals with acetaldehyde on the solid surface of nh4no3 has been studied in a flow capillary reactor at low pressure and room temperature. the experiments were performed using epr spectrometer combined with the kinetic method of radicals freezing. peroxy radicals revealed an oscillation complex behavior during the process regarding to the phenomenon of radicals multiplic...

the final treatment for diabetes is transplantation of islets of langerhans. one of the new proposed methods for immunological preservation of transplanted cells is coating of cell surface by polyethylene glycol. in this study, the surface of islets of langerhans was coated by cyanuric chloride activated methoxy polyethylene glycol. the effect of polymer coating, at two different reaction times...

The catalytic activation of CO single crystal surfaces is reviewed. Examples are provided which demonstrate the relevance of single crystal studies for modeling the behavior of high surface area supported catalysts. The coupling of an apparatus for the measurement of reaction kinetics at elevated pressures with an ultrahigh vacuum system for surface analysis allows detailed study of structure s...

OH radicals play a key role as an intermediate in the water formation chemistry of the interstellar medium. For example the reaction of OH radicals with H2 molecules is among the final steps in the astrochemical reaction network starting from O, O2, and O3. Experimentally it was shown that even at 10 K this reaction occurs on ice surfaces. As the reaction has a high activation energy only atom ...

The theoretical treatment of chemical reactions inevitably includes the integration of reaction pathways. After reactant, transition structure, and product stationary points on the potential energy surface are located, steepest descent reaction path following provides a means for verifying reaction mechanisms. Accurately integrated paths are also needed when evaluating reaction rates using vari...

We have computationally studied the effects of temperature on the reaction pathway of an electrocyclic ring-closure reaction on the Au(111) surface, particularly focusing on thermodynamic aspects of the reaction. The electrocyclic ring-closure is accompanied by a series of dehydrogenation steps, and while it is found that temperature, in terms of vibrational entropy and enthalpy, has a reducing...

the phenylthiourea-substituted triethoxysilane as a silane agent was synthesized and grafted on highly ordered nanoporous silica (lus-1) with a textured morphology and hexagonal array. this material (tu-lus-1) contained 0.8 mmol/g of soft base phenylthiourea group and surface area 760 m2g-1 and was able to adsorb 0.75 mmolhg/g of tu-lus-1 in endothermic reaction.

Serum sensitization of the acid-fast bacteria causes two definite and directly observable changes in the bacterial surface: 1. A change from a surface readily wet by oil to a surface more readily wet by aqueous salt solution than by oil. This change is observed by microscopic examination of the bacteria in a saline-oil interface; thus detected, the surface alteration is said to constitute a "po...

With an increase in the global pollution, there is requirement for an alternative to the fossil fuels. Non-edible vegetable oils are highly promising for producing liquid fuels like diesel. Jatropha is a potential feedstock for biodiesel, currently utilized in India and many parts of the world. The optimization of reaction conditions such as temperature, time, catalyst and molar ratio for biodi...
